According to Cunningham, Play Protect can warn about bad apps downloaded from other sources as well. It is meant to keep an eye on all applications that perform nefarious operations on a device, in an attempt to keep users’ data safe.

One of the features included in Google Play Protect is Find My Device, which is meant to help users even when they lose their devices.

“With Find My Device you can locate, ring, lock and erase your Android devices—phones, tablets, and even watches. This feature is built in and enabled on all devices,” Cunningham notes.

Users interested in learning more on this application should head to android.com/find or simply check the Find My Device app.

The new features will be rolling out to Android devices over the coming weeks.
